Challenge	Rimkus, a global leader in engineering and technical consulting, needed to digitalize their processes to improve project oversight, save time, and increase operational efficiency. They had to move away from excessive paperwork that slowed project completion and had potential for mistakes/human error. The company spent three months searching for the best platform to digitalize their Special Inspection Field Reports, which involve a flow used to provide a detailed record of site visits. Read More
About Customer	Rimkus is a global leader in engineering and technical consulting, with more than 1,400 employees operating from 110+ offices worldwide. The Rimkus Built Environment Solutions team is comprised of engineers, architects, and technical specialists who provide global services to operate the built environment with a focus on carbon footprint reduction, resiliency, maintainability, and sustainability. To best support their clients, it was essential for the experts on the Rimkus team to digitalize their processes in order to improve project oversight, save time, and increase operational efficiency.

Solution	Rimkus decided that FlowForma Process Automation was the perfect fit for their needs. They digitalized their Special Inspection Field Reports as a templated form with all inputs residing in one place. The process was beta-tested with employees of varying degrees of tech savviness, which gave everyone an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the look and feel of the software and ask questions. Rolling out FlowForma Process Automation to new users took the company a quarter of the time it took to deploy other solutions, and the outcomes have been game-changing. It is much easier to both review processes and train people on them. Everything is in one place with seamless document control, as opposed to old processes where there could be multiple versions in different places. Read More Log in to view content

Impact #1	The Building Envelope team, a sector of the Rimkus Built Environment Solutions group, had grown too big for processes to exist in a handful of people’s heads. FlowForma Process Automation helped create a knowledge repository where templates provide a repeatable way of doing things that no longer need to be constantly taught and relearned.
Impact #2	Project review processes are completed in half the time – one day as opposed to two – and help catch problems before they become an issue.
Impact #3	Through use of FlowForma Process Automation, the experts on the Rimkus Built Environment Solutions team have succeeded in their plan to reduce paperwork in the business and use digitalization to transform processes. Crucially, FlowForma enabled this team to scale and meet increasing market demand.
